"How about Barbizon, I said.
How about a tall, yellow
butterscotch coop
at the Balmoral Hotel
in Edinburgh? Now
that's something you could
dive into and come up
with a mouthful of feathers
all aflutter. No, she said, Ashes
of Roses, you know
the clinking of a tea set
on a Mexican veranda?"
Richard Garcia, Ashes of Roses
You can read the whole poem here.

Thanks for stopping by, e. I'm currently reading Richard Garcia's The Persistence of Objects, and finding gem after gem.
